Congratulations girl. Yes celebrate all the small things too which 700,000 isn’t a small thing. Life is so short we should celebrate every day that God gave us another day.

Doorstops are a MUST when moving! Moving in to my apartment and now moving out in the summer, a doorstop at the main door while hauling boxes and furniture out makes such a difference! No need to have anyone holding the door every time you go out! 🤗

[@dianebaker5243]

And for hotel room doors to feel safe when sleeping.

Funny you should mention the back scratcher. My husband put one in my Christmas stocking a couple years ago and my first reaction was to kind of roll my eyes, but it turned out to be the best little gadget I didn't know I needed till I had it! Still using it to this day and so glad it's there!

I'd add another underrated item - photo booth props. I couldn't find anything under $7 on Amazon, but Dollar Tree had several options for $1.25 with multiple pieces. It made my niece's bday party a hit!

[@deedsh6280]

100% that we need to pause to be in the gratitude/celebration mode of large and small victories, Also, re those doorstops, I friend who travels alone extensively always packs one for the hotel door. The theory is that it can be pushed out of the way, but because resistence is felt, if someone is looking for an easy target , they might move along It's just a small thing to add a bit more security. But it's also easy to remove in case of fire etc.

[@nickyonstilts128]

Tfs your finds!!! Because my storage real estate is small, I store my microwave plate cover inside my microwave. I store it upside down to make it easier to take it out before putting my dish inside. Thanks again for your content! Have a blessed week! ✌️💝🙏🤜

[@suecox2308]

FYI, that design of rubber plunger is actually designed for clogged sinks. It works really well on that, but for a toilet you need a heavier duty plunger with a tapered design which is designed to fit into the outflow of the toilet bowl. Interesting items, as always--love the DT cutting boards! And congrats on your subscriber numbers--yay you!!

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

It'd be nice if the plunger had a plastic handle. The wooden one just seems not as clean.

I've never seen those balloon sticks before I'll have to keep an eye out! I couldn't agree more about gratitude and celebrating life's achievements!🎉

[@L1...]

Thank you for the heads up about the plate covers and taking them out before the drying cycle. Your cat playing with the door stop was so cute😊

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

The cat looked like he was trying to figure out how to remove the door stop! Maybe he misses being able to get outside. Yes, I know cats should be kept inside. I was surprised when mine ended up going out the door as I was coming in. I didn't realize it until I went to let her in from the balcony (where I thought she was all that time) and she wasn't out there! Not like her to go out at all. She returned exactly a week later. I was scared I wouldn't see her again. So relieved she came back.

[@patriciaandjudgey1442]

Aaaawwwww your sweet kittie was relaxing in the little bed how precious ❤❤❤

[@Vanessa180]

I use the large blue and white clips to clamp my quilt sandwich to the side of the table to keep it from sliding off the table. They work very well for that. My quilt stays in place when I'm pinning the three layers together.

[@julieann5196]

Lots of great hidden gems. Yes, I remember those tubes at the bank, in fact they still use them here in WI. I've heard rumors going around that Dollar Tree's prices are going up again. This time to $1.75. I hope this is not true. Thanks for sharing all these great gems Sara Jane.

[@carolbullard7956]

I hope not too!

[@txgirl995]

I've heard the same. It will be harder to justify shopping there, or shopping there as much if they raise the prices that high. They need to change their name to "We will gouge you as much as possible store"

[@Vanessa180]

The pill tube case is great for many uses. I put one of the pill cases in my purse with pain medication on one side and allergy pills on the other side. You never know when you're out and about and you may need a pill. The other use for one of the pill containers is small earrings. It can go in your purse or it can be used for travel to separate and protect your small earrings.

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

That IS a neat design regarding the pill case. At first sight, I thought each day was just a single compartment and that each day of the week screwed onto the one below it. Nice to have that "tube" that they all go in and that each day's case is divided into two compartments.

[@tanishahogan9396]

I love those cutting boards...truthfully, I don't use the for cutting boards...I use them in crafting when I want or need something that is semi-transparent. They work really well for that.

I cut mine down and use in the bottom of some of my reusable shopping bags.

I use them under my double waffle iron to easily move it on the counter, in the refrigerator to line the shelves…..and to protect watercolor paintings in progress, that are dry….so that I’m able to paint on both sides of my painting boards … sooo many uses.

I'm not sure how many people know this but coloring actually helps with memory and helps you to not get Alzheimer's or dementia it prolongs that process so you don't get it. Because coloring actually helps your memory and you have to stay in the lines and you have to be patient with your self

I use a lot of these products from DT and some are new to me. I use the large and extra large Ziploc bags for sooooo many different things. I use them to store items in categories in large totes, I use them to organize items in my son’s suitcase for camp (I label each bag to help him keep the items organized), you can store wreaths in them and hang them on a clothes hangers in your closet. The uses are endless. Congratulations on 700,000 subscribers! You are one of my favorite KZbin influencers. 🥳

I use those clear photo frames for parties and events at school for many different things like a Photo Booth sign, showing what and where things are, and for decorations.

An insanely easy way to clean your microwave…dampen a kitchen sponge and place in microwave for one minute. The moisture created loosens all the grim for easy wipe down and the heat disinfects the sponge at the same time.

I used to work with an older woman before she retired- she was a little strange but nice enough. Sometimes she would ask me to scratch her back if it was really itching & she couldn’t reach it😂🤷‍♀️. Before I worked there she had been robbed & assaulted & almost died, her son was in prison & she really had no remaining family so she was alone in many ways & I didn’t mind. I figured it spoke towards my character that she felt comfortable enough to ask me even though we were not supper close. I saw this same backscratcher at DT I got her one. She really liked it & it was nice to be able to get someone a good gift for such a low price
